With the shocking death of George Floyd igniting renewed discourse about racial inequality, it’s also amplified the volume of the Black Lives Matter movement.

The necessity of change is also being spotlighted in the creative sphere.

Case in point ‘BLK BOY.’

Helmed by Donnie Sunshine and Jazz Brown (who stars), the conceptual short film is a response to the tragic yet ever so familiar disregard for Black lives.

The powerful narrative follows a stylised depiction of the murders of Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, highlighting the subsequent actions taken by their community through protest.

Seen throughout are the varied representations of Black boys and men, with a core focus on celebrating their multi-faceted forms.

6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj kicked off the week with news their latest duet, ‘TROLLZ,’ had been colored into the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100.

While Minaj was no stranger to the win as she just celebrated her inaugural #1 last month (click here to read more), the trip to the chart’s summit came as a first for her co-star – a victory he used to taunt fellow rappers Future, Gucci Mane, Meek Mill, and more as they could not boast the same (click here to read more).

But, while ‘TROLLZ’ may own the history-making feat of opening with 2020’s biggest first week sales yet, it is projected to soon be entering in history books for another reason: the biggest drop from #1 ever.

As we reported here, Katy Perry planted her 25th top 40 hit onto the Billboard Hot 100 with ‘Daisies’ – the official first single from her yet-titled fifth studio album.

Despite quickly plummeting to the chart’s lower rankings in the weeks that followed (found at #76 this week), The Monsters & Strangerz-produced cut boasts the longest shelf-life of any Perry song since her 2017 ‘Witness’ era – an achievement aided by the aggressive promo push it’s been afforded.
